Blog Prompt 12: The Trial Of Jack Merridew-Trial Preparation

My name is Caption Morgan and I am the caption of the British battle ship Prince Of Whales. The Prince Of Whales is a 35,000-ton ship. The ship was built in Birkenhead. I have bin the caption of this ship now for thirty-seven years. I am fifty-three years old and I like cats. I was born in nineteen-0-two in a town called Matlock Britain. Now I am the navel officer and me and my crew of thirty-nine.

My crew and I were riding along and my first mate had seen this small island go up in flames so he goes and said “Look! Over there that island is on fire. Do you think there are people there?” I then said “Well lets go check it out, we have some extra time.” So we set off to this little island. We set an anker and three of my men and I take one of the escape boats to the island. As my men tie up the boat I go up the beach about five meters and I see this little kid, who had looked like he got attacked by an army. I mean this kid had a spear in his ribs and was all bloody. I tell my men to stay back and I start to walk towards the boy. He looked at me like I was a god; he was thin and had long hair. I was looking at him in a wary astonishment. I had said hello and he had squirmed a little and answered shyly “Hello.” I nodded to him still astonished. I then asked, “Are there any adults, any grownups with you?” The little boy shook his head. He blew me away that there was just a kid on an island. But then out of the burning forest there came two more kids and then another. All I could say was “Fun and games,” I grinned at the boy and said, “We saw your smoke. What have you bin doing? Having a war or something?” all the pour kid could do was nod. I looked at the thin kid in front of me and he needed a bath as well as the rest of them. More kids started to appear but I saw some of the kids with face paint on and it looked like a bunch of savages. “Nobody killed, I hope? Any dead bodies?” I had asked them. One said, “Only two and they have gone.” I said, “Two? Killed? What was the cause of death?” Another one said, “We had killed them.” His face was sad and he drew back into the small crowd of kids. I new they weren’t lying and the fire was getting to the point were we had to leave. “Are there any more of you? Do you no how many of you there are?” I said. “No.” they said. I was very disappointed that these British kids could no take any order. I said, “Well then lets get off this island.” We all get in the little boat and make are way to the Prince Of Whales.

We were now on the ship we put the kids on the lower level They had taken up six of the fifteen small rooms, we were packed and it was going to take a good two or three days to get back to Britain. I let them settle in and I helped bandage up for who ever needed it. “Dinner is in one hour get cleaned up and meat me in the galley.” They were very hungry let me tell you that, they looked like a pack of wolves eating every thin they barley left any food for my crew for that day. All stuffed and tired they all went to bead and it felt good that I had saved these kids. The next day, man I want to find out what had happened, as I was getting ready for the day. All of the kids were still asleep. I yelled “Get up!” they didn’t want to get up. “Get up now!” they still weren’t getting up. I was offended that they weren't lessoning to me so I pulled out my gun and shot a bullet out one of the open windows “Get up!” I said. They shot op and they were scared out of their pants. “You little kids need to lesion to me if you are going to be on my ship.” I said with a firm voices. They nodded their heads still shocked from the noise. “I want every one to get dressed and meat me on the top deck.” I said. They got ready very fast because they new I meant bisnis. “Now who was the leader of you guys before I saved you guys?” I said. One of the boys came to the front and said, “I am.” I said “And who are you?” “My name is Ralph.” Ralph said. “Now I want to here just from you what had happened.” I said.

“Well we crashed on the island and the majority of us had voted on me to be the leader, and for a while we were doing ok. We had made some huts and we had a signal fire going on the top of the mountain. But one day one of the kids said there was a beast. No one believed him until some of the kids and I saw it to. The beast lived on the top of the mountain so we were to scared to go up there and we had then lost are signal fire, after that every thing went down hill. We made a small fire. Then one day one of the kids decided that he didn’t want me to be leader and him and a couple of the other kids left and decided to start there own group. So now there are two groups my group and the other group who called themselves the Hunters. The Hunters were the ones who had always caught are meat, witch was pig. They had caught a big pig and we haven’t had meat in a while so every one was hungry. And the Hunters came back to my group and they invited any one to join them and those they had meat and they said that you were not safe with me, but they would be safe with them. Now they also stole some fire from us. So that night the Hunters had a big feast and most of my group left me to go eat and join the Hunters. When they were having the feast I even went because I was so hungry. Their leader stated to go on about how they were going to be safe with him. Then the leader of the Hunters spotted Simon and said that he was the beast. It was nighttime and you couldn't see him very well so they all attack pour Simon, and they started to do some weird chant wall they killed him. Now that is how the first kid who died.

The next day there was just four or five of us left in my group, we just tried to relax that day. So now I was pretty mad that Simon and my friend Piggy had gotten his glasses stolen died so I get every one ready and we go back and get the glasses back. They had moved to this place on the island called Castle Rock. The Hunters took the rest of my group as prisoners, they had also dropped a massive bolder on top of my friend Piggy killing him instantly. The next day they set the whole island on fire while trying to find me and then I ran onto the beach and saw you.” Said Ralph. “Wow.” I said. I didn’t no what more to say. We had made it back to Britain and they were all reunited with there parents.
